How about an authoritative answer as to the pronunciation of her name? Is it Spay-sek or Spa-chek or what? I've heard both. I'm just not comfortable mentioning her in conversation until I know.

His debut Spirits of the Air, Gremlins of the Clouds is worth looking at. Like a slow, lyrical, ultra-low budget version of The Road Warrior* with a soundtrack that's part Morricone, part Phillip Glass in feel.

Ditto. Loved it, once I got into its weird flow. Muzzlehatch's monkey riding a delapidated car over a cliff has stayed in the memory. It's full of strange, haunting imagery, informed by Peake's stint as a war artist.

I imagine him as a kinda John C. Reilly as Dr. Steve Brule type guy, crossed with Billy Connolly in off-the-grid mode. 

Um, Dylan played with one or two badass drummers. And I'll say it - Meg White is badass, in ways that dickwads attending master-sessions down at Billy Hyde's Drumcraft ain't gonna appreciate.

The Fermata is a truly enjoyable read. It really does get inside the mind of the perve (trust me (not that I can stop time)). I watched the first 15 minutes of that movie and found it a bit too arch and self-consciously arty.

Live among the peasantry in an ice-bound wilderness; become an artist's model, and work as an orderly in a mental institution, according to Maeve (his widow) Peake's 3rd sequel, 'Titus Awakes' (released about a year back after being discovered in an attic by Peake's granddaughter).

Holy crap, what an interview. Haji?!!

Um… I seem to remember Welcome To Collinwood as being kind of awesome? Waddya mean, "without distinction"?

Yeah, that was pretty much my routine between the ages of 14 and 16 at school. I blame D&D on my poor grades. That and rock music, chronic masturbation and innate laziness.

You forgot Charles Bukowski (and the jazz alto saxophonist Bernie McGann*)

I think it would be an awful shame if Jessica Paré wasn't returning to MM in a major way, because she is almost supernaturally lovely. Especially the teeth.

Yeah, me too. It's hard to imagine better Michael Caine impersonations. The Internet: home of preposterously difficult-to-please people, and people who feel compelled to upbraid preposterously difficult-to-please people.

Shouldn't you be throwing semantic fireballs over in that D&D thread?

Oates, you're a real baddass, for a guy who's stolen the identity of a dead guy who played badasses (in order to make anonymous comments on a website). I, for one, started playing D&D and the guitar at roughly the same time. It was either that or spend my school recesses getting beaten up by roving gangs.
